Question

Daysi buys a video game on sale. If the video usually costs $30.00, and it

was on sale for 25% off, how much did Daysi pay?

Answer 1

$22.5

Explanation:

The original price is $30 and it's on sale for 25% off. Since 25% is a quarter of the total price, I divided 30÷4=7.5. $7.5 is 25% of $30, so 7.5 is the amount taken off the original price. To find what Daysi paid, I subtracted 30-7.5=22.5. $22.5 is the result after the 25% off, so Daysi paid $22.5.
